Abstract: Objective:To compare the effects between uterus artery embolization and local excision in the treatment of uterine adenomyosis(AM) to provide the basis for clinical AM treatment.Methods:Among the 56 AM patients,27 cases(A group) and 29 cases(B group) were treated with local excision and uterine artery embolization,respectively.All cases were followed up for 24 months,the long-and short-term efficacy between two groups were compared.Results:The dysmenorrhea symptoms in two groups were improved after 6,12 and 24 months of operation,the difference of which was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Compare with that before operation,the uterine volume in two groups were obviously shrinked(P<0.01).Conclusions:Both uterus artery embolization and abdominal local excision are effective mothods in treating AM,which can reserve uterus for providing the pregnancy chance in the reproductive age women.
